[Bug 1409032] [NEW] gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation

 

Public bug reported:

Example:

I use Virtualbox and mount a .vdi on an SMB server. Using gvfsd-smb
(browsing within Gnome to find the share), gvfsd-smb uses up to 50% CPU
which slows down the entire system when accessing the network share.
Mounting using sudo ($ sudo mount -t smbfs -o guest,nounix,noperm
//server/share /media/share) so that cifs is used uses around 8% CPU.
The difference is dramatic!

If I didn't have sudo access my machine would grind to a halt when
trying to use the remote share.
